The BBC Ghana broke the news on Facebook on Monday, August 10, confirming that Appiah had joined Obaapa FM/TV, a station under the Lawson Media group. He steps into the role of Chief Editor and Head of News, a position that reflects the weight of experience he brings to his new employer.
Wofa Kofi Appiah's new role at Obaapa FM/TV
On air, Appiah will anchor a morning news segment running from 6:00 am to 7:00 am on weekdays. The slot is billed as an in-depth, unfiltered look at major news, with a particular focus on developments across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
His move draws a line under his time at Kessben Media, where he had served as News Editor and hosted the 'Maakye' morning show on both Kessben TV and Kessben FM since joining in September 2024.
That programme combined newspaper reviews, political commentary, business discussions and social affairs, and built a loyal listenership in the Ashanti Region. Wofa Kofi Appiah reportedly stepped down from both roles in July 2026 after two years at the station, though no formal confirmation of his next destination had emerged until now.
